Welcome to the Stew! Feel free to join in on discussions, ask questions, and post pictures (we love pictures).
Well gee, Toni, if you aren't willing to go all the way for a rain chant, the liklihood of getting a nice downpour is slim. :roll: Personally,...
For scent and hardiness, I'd recommend Dark Lady (an Austin rose) which is deep red; Nacadoches which is bright yellow and smells heavenly; soft...
Donna, great photos! We have bluebirds, but aren't sure if they are nesting or not. How did you ever sneak up and get such a great picture? No...
Ronni, Grab a cup of coffee and don't make plans for this morning--I LOVE to talk roses! "Regular" roses that Paige wants are most likely hybrid...
Oh yeah, been there and done that, but it was a birthday, not an anniversary date. My sister has not yet forgiven me . . . .
Happy Anniversary, Cheryl and hubby! And for all of us on the Stew it's a happy anniversary of you joining. This place wouldn't be nearly as much...
Mart is absolutely right--some composted cow,sheep, or horse manure could help your tomatoes. The nice thing about composted manures is that the...
Wonderful photo, Sjoerd, congratulations! How did you ever get her to pose like that? Our bees aren't as photogenic, nor as cooperative. :roll:

Ahhhh, that is so sweet! Mastiffs are so maternal, and so caring, and so darned big!
While I was weeding today, I thought of many of the small kindnesses I've received. No one has offered me $100,000, but the memory of the kindness...
I love celebrating May Day! I took bouquets, just a couple of roses and some artemesia in a few bud vases, to the local nursing home. Did you know...
Today is May 1--May Day! This is the day when we put down our hoes and clippers, and dance around the Maypole. We celebrate spring, and give each...
Well, I cast my vote, but only after agonizing for several minutes! All the photos are superb--everyone should be very proud of their pictures....
I used to be terrified of spiders. When I learned how beneficial they are, I lost my fear, but I'm still not in love with them! We have lots of...
There is something so adorable about a hen with her chicks! I have only purchased chicks, all of the same breed. Is it usual to have different...
Your method sounds great--a trench with a hole at the end, and your tomato plants are happy!
